Item # 572921

January 28, 1924

THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, January 28, 1924 

* Shanktown, Pennsylvania - Indiana, Pennsylvania 
* Mine explosion disaster
 

This 18 page newspaper has a nice banner headline on the front page:
"36 KNOWN DEAD, 4 MISSING IN SHANKTOWN MINE BLAST" with subheads. (see)

Tells of the explosion of the Lancashire #18 mine of the Barnes and Tucker Coal Company at Shanktown, Pennsylvania, near Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Other news of the day. Light browning, otherwise good.
